What are the names for the rope that defines the queue in theater?

Which movie theaters use rope and ribbons on waist-high poles to define a place to give neat lines, divide a larger area, block an entrance, etc.?

I remember seeing the phrase “velvet rope” used. For the latter, I think I’ve heard it used.

I most commonly see things that are 3 inch wide webbing in a reel that sits on the top of the pole, and this is pulled out to the needed length and the end secured to another such post using a dovetail slot. Can you change the dispenser slots or leave an empty slot after dispenser?

So old fashion kind are simply large linked chains (yellow plastic, typically) that can have any link hooked to a hook on a post, with the extra length hanging free.

If it makes a difference, I specifically care to refer to the modular adjustable kind, as opposed to a short fixed length like the “velvet rope”.

The podium held four dignitaries and (one of those queue-control rope things like you see in movies) was set parallel to it, herding the guests past them in single file.

How/why would you say that you choose to be an artist/educator?

In Google the simple phrase queue ropes, is well defined as a search phrase for stanchions, Tensa-Belts & et cetera. Also. of all kinds. I cannot imagine any modern person who has stood in line without not knowing the objects being referred to.

If it makes a difference, I specifically want to refer to the modular adjustable kind, as opposed to a short fixed length like the “velvet rope” I want to refer to the tapered, modular kind.

In the trade (yes, the “line-&-queue-control” trade), this item is officially called a “retractable-belt barrier”, but really, the tradename Tensabarrier is used, which I imagine frustrates their competitors at Queueway and particularly Retracta-Belt.

I believe the term you may be looking for is the “cordon”. I know what they mean. But if they mean the “cordon” in their English, is it a reference I can have in them.

  1. a line or circle of police, soldiers, or guards preventing access to or from an area of an area or building.
    “troops threw a cordon around the headquarters”
    synonyms: barrier, line, row, chain, ring, circle. Picket line
    “a cordon of 500 police”
  2. an ornamental cord or braid.

From Google Definition: cordon

The fanciest cordon is, of course, the velvet rope. With bungee cordons, anything is possible by virtue of its ability to act as the barrier from a lowly rope to law enforcement crime scene tape to the ribbon that separates the groom’s guest from the bride’s to the velvet rope that prevents

the riff-raff from accosting the VIPs.

If I’d bothered to read the post down to the very last line I could have saved myself from expending all that (excess) energy, but in my excitement I failed to give you

the “modular adjustable

kind”, which would be “retractable cordon ” or ” retractable barrier ” which is the definition of the images will confirm.

What are some ideas that can make you rich?

What are some interesting words in stanchion.

In event management, an stanchion is an upright bar or post that includes retractable belts, velvet ropes, or plastic chains, sometimes in conjunction with wall-mounted barrier devices, barricades, and printed signage, and often used for crowd control and engineering people flow and construction site safety.

What should you look

at as an example: The podium had ten dignitaries that stood parallel to it, herding the guests past them in single-file of succession.

What do I do when I struggle to understand others’ viewpoints?
